Christopher Goss Poet Free verse

Disconnected

Chase me into the ocean
Is it so bad to ask for devotion
I'm running out of motivation
To delve into emotion

I think I'm going to float awhile
Forget everything else
Forget my job and my lack of friends
Forget my crippling anxiety and paranoia
I think I'm going to disconnect

They told me I could be anything
And maybe I didn't really listen
Because life is what I've been missin'
And all I can do is sing

I'm a dramaphone all alone
Grown but I've been shown
There is no greener grass on either side
And maybe they all just lied

I think I'm going to float awhile
As I reflect on my change in style
Forget everything else
Forget my stupid body weight
Forget my lazy eye and scars
I think I'm going to disconnect

I used to just want to feel
But now nothing feels real
It's like my past is a highlight real
Of poor decisions and deals
They say time heals
But I'm stuck on a car with no wheels

And I feel discombobulated
In this world so overpopulated
If only I didn't feel so lonely
If only they could show me
Life gets better than this

Chase me into the ocean
It's not like I'll beg for devotion
Because I've run out of motivation
To reach for emotion
